Albert "Dolemite" Jones

Albert Jones, known by his friends as "Dolemite", was the youngest child of the late Mr. James Jones and Mrs. Louise Jones. He was born in Camden, South Carolina on December 27, 1955. Albert was called to his heavenly home on December 21, 2022.

He attended Kershaw County Public Schools and he drove school bus for the "head Start" children.

Albert was an active member of White Oak Baptist Church. He accepted Christ, was baptized and became a member with full rights. As a member, he served as the Chairman of the Trustee Board, member of the Mass Choir, an Usher, and Church Sexton. Albert loved his work as a trustee and enjoyed working in the church. He visited the sick and did whatever he could do for them with a smile and joy in his heart. He served the church up until his health failed.

Albert was employed in several positions throughout his career. He worked as a doffer in the textile industry and was previously employed by Springs Mill in Lancaster, South Carolina and DeRoyal Textiles in Camden, South Carolina. He also worked as a pilot car driver making sure that mobile homes were safely moved on the highway and as a truck driver for the Standard Warehouse in Lugoff, South Carolina.

Albert had a love for cars. He was known working on old cars and restoring them to show room condition. Albert took pride in his work and loved cleaning and polishing his car for car shows. He won a number of the car shows he entered. Albert is remembered most for being a comedian. He loved to tell jokes and make people laugh much like his sister, Clara.

In addition to his parents, Albert was preceded in death by a sister, Creasia B. Jones; two brothers, James Leroy Jones and John Henry Jones; a niece, Loretta A. Long, who was reared in the home; and one brother-in-law, Moses Sumpter, Jr.

Those left to cherish his memories include three sisters, Zellia J. Sumpter of Cassatt, South Carolina, Ruby M. Jones and Clara B. Jones, both of Camden, South Carolina; two brothers, McElveen (Rowena) Jones of Camden, South Carolina and McHoward Jones of Camden, South Carolina; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

The family extends a special thank you to Life Line Ambulance services, Springdale Health Care, MUSC Hospice and MUSC Health Kershaw Medical Center for the wonderful love and care that was given to their brother. May God bless each one of you.
